Chapter 19: Baby Baby Baby...
A few days after Rupert was sent home, Dragon and Mat returned to Hogwarts because they were not yet needed for Oliver and Crabbe's trial. The judge had decided to try them together, instead of pulling everything along, which Harry and Draco were grateful. Harry and Draco were currently catching up on some much needed rest, it was hard to raise seven kids all under the age of three. The twins were currently two, Alyssa was one and a half, the triplets were six months, and Rupert was only about a month old. "Draco, Draco wake up!" Harry said, shaking Draco like his life depended on it.
"W-what?" Draco asked, rolling over with his back towards Harry.
"Draco, I'm going to labor." Draco shot out of bed, quickly grabbed the over night back and Floo'd to Saint Mungos. 'You'd think with having eight children, he'd remember me.' Harry said, walking over to the fireplace only to have his hand grabbed by a hurried Draco and pulled through.
"Sorry, I'm just so excited." Draco said, leading Harry towards their private delivery room. The hospital after the triplets decided that it would be too hard to figure out which one was pregnant when, so they gave them their own room all they had to do was go inform one of the doctors.
"It's fine, I just thought it was a little funny. Even after eight children you still get excited, it's like we never had Dragon or his siblings."
"One day you guys will forget all about me." Dragon said entering the room. "The nurse saw you guys come out of the Floo and contacted Dumbledore. I was told to tell you that a nurse will be on her way shortly, they currently have a problem with someone else's delivery."
"I'm sorry, who are you again? Rupert? Shane? Michael?" Draco asked teasing.
"Tiger dear, it's Tiger." Harry said, patting Draco's arm.
"Very funny, I love you guys too."
"Oh that's right, it's Dragon." Draco said, hitting himself with the palm of his hand.
"So, do you know the sex of the baby? Will I have another brother or sister?"
"You're going to have another sister."
"You know, they're all going to be dating all at once, and it'll be hard making sure they're boyfriends are all good guys. Pick out a name yet?"
"Audrey Kathlyn Potter-Malfoy."
"Another Potter-Malfoy?" Dragon laughed. "Here I thought I was going to be the only one." Dragon's sentence was interrupted by Harry screaming. "I'm out, I'll be in the waiting room. Mat's there along with Chastity and Severus."
"You've scared our son." Draco said, turning towards Harry and smiling. "Thank you, I didn't think anyone would scare him." About nine hours later, Harry was having the child.
"I hate you Draco Malfoy!" Harry yelled, killing Draco's hand.
"You know, this is not my fault. Oliver and yourself could have kept your hands off one another. So if you hate anyone it's him."
"No I hate you! I hate you for leaving, I hate you for, for everything!" Harry screamed one last time before the cries of little Audrey broke through the yelling.
"You did it babe. I love you so much." Draco kissed Harry's forehead while the doctor took care of Audrey.
"I love you too." Harry said, holding Audrey in his arms. "Please go get everyone. I want to introduce the family to the newest member." Draco smiled and kissed both Audrey and Harry's foreheads before going and getting every one.
"Aww, Har, Drac she's so cute." Chastity said, looking down at the baby. "I want another one."
"Oh no, you've done enough damage to my reputation with Cap." Severus said, walking up behind Chastity and placing his hand on the small of her back.
"Oh you can't say a thing, your reputation was wrecked way before him." Draco said smiling.
"This is Audrey Kathlyn Potter-Malfoy." Harry said above the voices.
"That's a beautiful name. Harry, why don't you let Draco deal with the child and you deal with taking care of Rup and Audrey? You've been through enough." Severus said, holding Chastity close.
"Maybe I will, I just need some rest." Harry said, before falling alseep.

"All rise for the honorable Judge Henry Deeds." The Balif said, entering the court room. Just like Draco's trial, the press was there, along with local college students, Vincent and Oliver were both sitting with their lawyer, while Draco sat with William.
"I have been informed of the situation, and I will tell you now that I have not formed an opinion on anyone in this courtroom. Mr. Middleton you may go first."
" Your honor, ladies and gentlemen, councel, my clients Vincent Crabbe and Oliver Wood are innocent of all charges brought up against them today. Vincent Crabbe has not seen nor heard from Draconis or his husband Harry since they graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Oliver Wood is an innocent bystander, he was just being a good friend to Harry, lent him his home when Harry and Draco were fighting, took over classes when Draco was incapable of teaching. If Oliver was such a bad person, why would Harry have three children with him? If Oliver was the supposed Child abuser or molestor then why would Albus Dumbledore appoint him a job at Hogwarts? Vincent has been away on vacation before everything had even started, so how could he have been anywhere near the Potter-Malfoy family? You will hear from witnesses that are close to Harry and Draco, were at their house practically every day during these 'events'. You will also hear straight from Oliver and Vincent, their own accounts of where they were and how they heard about what was happening. While you are hearing all of these malicious assumptions, please remind yourself that if these two were that bad, why didn't anyone turn them in earlier." Wiht that Mr. Middleton sat down as William stood up.
"Your honor, ladies and gentlemen, councel my clients Harry and Draco Potter-Malfoy thought they had met two great friends, two people they could trust with personal information. Unforunately, they were taken advantage of, these two men sitting to the side over here are nothing but filled with lies and deception. Harry and Draco thought they could trust Oliver wood with their eldest child while they were going through a divorce, but obviously they were mistaken. Imagine for a second, that you were going through a divorce, you were living in Azkaban where your supposed husband put you, while your husband lived at home and was going through a whole different type of hell. You will hear from Draco and Harry Potter-Malfoy, Harry will be stopping by shortly and leaving due to the recent birth of his daughter. You will hear from Vincent Crabbe and Oliver Wood, along with Minister of Magic Remus Lupin. Mr. Middleton asked you to remind y ourself that if those two ere that bad,why didn't anyone turn them in earlier. I am asking you to question yourself how anyone could if they were in diguse."
"Mr. Middleton, your first witness please." The judge said, very intrigued to start the trial.
"I call to the stand Draco Malfoy." Mr. Middleton said, waiting for Draco to get sworn in. "Mr. Malfoy, you were imprisoned in Azkaban on and off for almost a year, if you knew you were innocent then why didn't you speak up?"
"I was being threatened by Mr. Wood, he kept telling me that if I did not listen to him he would kill Harry and my children, including the children he had with Harry. If I had lost Harry or any of my children, I would be lost. I did to save their lives, no matter what I had to go through."
"You were not allowed to have visitors, how isn't then that Mr. Wood would be able to visit you?"
"I was allowed to have visitors due to the fact that at the time I was pregnant. However, all visitors had to be approved by Oliver before they were even allowed to step inside the jail itself." By this time the lawyer was getting very mad.
"Did you or did you not rape and abuse your son?" Mr. Middleton yelled.
"I did not."
"No more questions your honor." The lawyer said quickly and sat down while William stood up.
"Mr. Malfoy, in your own words can you tell us what happened leading up to the trial on the 24th."
"Vincent Crabbe came over to the manor on the 1st of may to visit because we hadn't seen each other since graduation. Thinking nothing of it, I invited him over. The next thing I knew, I was waking up in the dungeons of Crabbe manor, shackled to the wall. I must have been there a few days, though days and time in general all blended together. I wondered if my husband or children knew I was missing, the next thing I knew, I was being smuggled into Azkaban and thrown in a cell. I would read the Daily Prophet about how I was released and re-arrested for abusing and molesting my son Dragon, but I never left Azkaban. I would NEVER abuse my children, let alone a child in general. I don't even abuse the house elves! A few month later, I was released under the Imperious, but I was never strong enough to throw it off. I was returned home where Harry and I consumated relutling in my being pregnant, then given Vertiserum. Vincent had put the counter potion down my throat first though, and made me confess to abusing Dragon, landing me in Azkaban for a second time. The third or fourth time according to the Daily Prophet. After the second time, Oliver started coming to visit me, telling me how nice it felt to beat my son, to prepare and enter him while he screamed, and how much more satisfying it was while under Polyjuice potion as me. I would ask how he got away with it when he was with Harry during some of the abuse. 'Vincent needs to get in on some action too,' was his reponse. When I heard that Oliver and Vincent were taking advantage of my son and that I couldn't do anything about it, I let the only connection I had to Harry keep me sane, our child. I would talk to him, tell him stories, and when he was born I promised him I would get better before I would even consider visiting him. I had to get better because I knew that without him, the dementors would easily be able to take over. Harry stayed to work out what we would do when I got out of Azkaban and got back on my feet. Oliver didn't want to let him stay, and got protective. Harry sent Oliver home and I gave him the divorce papers, told him all he had to do was inital it. That's when Harry noticed the quill, and knew that If I wanted to hurt a child, I had the perfect opportunity. The quill was extremely sharp, and I was pregnant, if I wanted I could have harmed the child, and I never did. "
"Thank you Mr. Malfoy, you may step down. Your honor, if the court allows, I would like to show evidence of a confession that Oliver had made concerning this case. I only ask because it is his confession from the case on November the 24th."
"Objection your honor! You are not allowed to bring evidence from a settled case into a new one. It's not lawful."
"With all due respect sir, Mr. Wood was legally under Polyjuice potion when he said it was alright with him that we use this tape."
"Objection! My client never said such a thing."
"I object to this whole adolescent fight. Mr. Williams do you or do you not have evidence that Mr. Wood ever agreed to using this tape in this courtroom?"
"I do your honor." William pulled out a tape recorder and pressed play.
"I Oliver Wood, agree that Mr. Draconis Malfoy, and Mr. Harry Potter may use my confession in a court of law."
"This is a court of law, and that is Mr. Wood's voice, therefore we are intitled to use it if we so please, as we do. "
"I'm sorry Mr. Middleton, I'm going to allow it."
"I was jealous of what Harry and Draco had and thought that if I could get Draconis out of the way, then I would be able to sway Harry into marrying me. Getting Draco out of the way was the impossible part, I couldn't look suspicious, his son and friends are too keen on that such stuff. I knew that one way would be the divorce papers, Harry doesn't read stuff when he's tired, so I slipped the papers onto his desk, when he went up there after a party I knew he was tired so I didn't need to worry about him reading it. He was up there about two hours before he came back down, said he signed them and sent them to Azkaban for Draco to sign. Well, I visited Draco every day after that, threatening that if he didn't follow along I would kill Harry and his children. So Draco signed the papers, but I still had to keep him quiet, so I came back everyday telling him what a good fuck his husband was for the past four months, before Draco confessed to doing it, and how Harry is now bearing my child, not his. How good it felt to beat and fuck his son for three months before his arrest, and how Vincet got in on the action too."
"Three months? Where was Draco at the time?" The lawyer asked, obviously overjoyed that Oliver was confessing.
"Locked up and unconsious at Crabbe manor. We knew we had to keep him alive for the Polyjuice potion. Once Draco we were able to Imperious Dragon to confess about his father, I knew that Harry would come running to me, so Vince took over as Draco."
"I call Mr. Oliver Wood to the stand." William called, waiting again for Oliver to get sworn in. "Hell Oliver."
"Hello yourself." Oliver said coldly.
"Do you deny anything on that tape?"
"No I don't, obviously even if I did, the court would know that I was lieing having been under Polyjuice potion at the time."
"So you admit to being behind everything."
"Yes, but I was not alone, Vincent was right there with me."
"Mr. Wood you may now step down from the bench. I do not think it is necessary to hear Mr. Harry Potter-Malfoy's testimony at this time. I will ask that we all go to recess for thirty minutes so our jury can come to a conclusion." The judge said, standing up and leaving the room.
"So Mr. Malfoy, I heard Harry had his...well our child last night? What is my child's name?" Oliver asked, walking past Draco and his lawyer.
"First off, Audrey Kathlyn Potter-Malfoy is not your daughter nor will have anything to do with you. Second, she is doing great, her and Harry are at home with Albus resting." Draco said, getting up to go and eat lunch with Severus.

Thirty minutes later, everyone was back in the courtroom and all they were waiting for was the jury to come to a conclusion and re-enter the courtroom. It didn't take long for the jury and judge to be seated. "Has the jury come to a conclusion?"
"We have your honor. For abuse on a child we find both Vincent Crabbe and Oliver Wood guilty, with a term of 15 years in Azkban. For child molestation, we find Vincent Crabbe and Oliver Wood guilty, with a term of 20 years. For brewing the Polyjuice potion to impersonate a public figure we find them guilty, with a five year term. For false impressionment of a public figure, 20 years in Azkaban. For the repeated use of an Unforgivable we Mr. Crabbe and Mr. Wood, guilty, and the law states that the use of an Unforgivable Curse on another human being is a life term in Azkaban. Brining the total term in Azkaban for Mr. Wood and Mr. Crabbe Life plus 60 years."
"Thank you, balif please remove these men from my sight. Court dismissed." Draco jumped to his feet and turned around to hug Severus. He was so happy that everything was finally over.

D/N: Sorry it took so long! Kime has finals in like two weeks. She finished Christmas shopping, which was almost impossible because her family like many others is impossible to shop for, and she put up the Christmas decorations for her parents. Plus, her boyfriend, though she loves him to death, keeps her up on the phone talking until 2-3 in the morning. So let's just say Kime had to punch this chapter out in a few minutes, so bare with the spelling errors and really cruddy birth scene. By the way, no one guessed correctly whom was going to have the next child...It hasn't happened yet, but guesses are still welcomed and very amusing to read...Oh and No, Serenity and James are NOT going to have a child! You will learn more about Serenity in the next chapter, like the fact that she's only 16 years old, she just acts older. Plus, I believe that in the outline Kime has her marrying someone else, so Serenity isn't going to be a main character, she's just poppin in.On with the reviews! Whoo HOO!
Sarahamanda: Glad you enjoyed the chapter, did your mom enjoy the movie?
Heather: Glad you enjoyed the last chapter...Yes Mel is going to die, where have you been? She broke that wizarding promise to Sirius, I had a whole chapter on it. Mat and Dragon aren't going to have children...yet. Oliver and Vince, will not be getting jiggy wit it ever. Mel, no twins just one child. James and Sev, that one made me laugh, erm Sev has made it quite clear he likes Chastity. Mat's parents, erm nope...Kime and Her boyfriend when I read that one I was on the phone with Ryan and couldn't stop laughing. See, his cousin was joking about Ry getting me pregnant over the phone from talking so much (We do not talk dirty, trust me, though you'd never believe it by my stories I really am very innocent.) and then I read that and started laughing.
Bitcake: Yes, I did not that Coke cola was first made with a little bit of actual cocaine. My sister learned about it in Elementary school. Glad you enjoyed the chapter. Glad you thought the sleeping scene was cute, and thank you for reminding me that Harry was still pregnant (I have such a bad memory). Draco: Thank you. Kime: Well, the next time you are on, I will show you pics of Ryan. However I will tell you that Danny and Andrew approve of him if that's any more of a reassurance. Yes I know it was a really short break, but still I felt bad. I changed my mind about a long one because I decided to take a break in January for reasons that, well let's just say I'll be a pro at writing trials and newspaper articles about trials, and that's all I will say on here for now. Mat: Yes crazy, very very crazy. Yes I am going to be a father, I can't wait! If you want to waste your gas and get Spongebob by all means go ahead. James: pouts I lost Kime! I lost Kime to to Him! Points at the phone even though the phone isn't going off. That girlfriend stealer! Sev: Fine go on call me Sevvie, I will call you fuckcake, two can play this game missy. Kime: Thank you, I thought that was pretty good too :). He he, Sevvie gets his magic wand licked! By the way one of the couples you named were right, one of them is having a new child.Harry: She is NOT! You and Kime are terrible! Cedric and I do not have something going on! They were tips, not 'private conversations' tips! That's all. Go your friend, your friend is right, you and Kime are wrong! Sev: Whatever you say fuckcake.
